Have you heard of the philosophy that when the student is ready the teacher or master will appear? I have found that to be true time and time again.

Happy Meatless Monday. As if we need another reason to adore avocados? They are quite possibly the most amenable fruit available.

We had the most wonderful time in Dahlonega, Georgia, where we went to Consolidated Gold Mine. We took an underground gold mine tour and then panned for our very own gold.

Happy Meatless Monday. I love talking to you about vegan travel because before I went vegan, I believed that traveling as one would be a challenge. Over the past few years I have come to realize that isn’t the case at all. It is just as easy to have your Meatless Monday or meatless any […]

When Sandy and I first met, she actively sailed on a racing sailboat. She had been crewing on a forty foot sailboat for many years and had participated in the famed Port Huron to Mackinac race. She asked me if I was interested in joining their crew. Well of course I am. Who wouldn’t want […]
